czetie:Ah, crap. Cramer is the man who recommended Lehman as a "screaming buy" shortly before it went bankrupt. And that was one of his better picks.

One of the few good ways for an amateur to make fast money in the market is to short whatever Cramer is recommending. Wait for a couple of days for the dumb money that follows his show to bid it up, then bail.

Short a stock, wait for it to get bid up, then cover? That doesn't sound like a very good way to make money. Or, do you mean, wait a few days for it to get bid up, then short?

Subtle Correction:This is the guy who got his butt handed to him by a comedian, right?

You shouldn't stay in the public eye after something like that. Go learn to be a nail technician or something.

In any rational world, he would be a lock attendant on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and only allowed to open his mouth at feeding time. He is a perfect example of the modern disconnect between "success" and "merit".

I think 440 might be his blood pressure in PSI, and this whole thing is just a misunderstanding.

Then again, he's been proving himself clueless since before the tech bubble crash. Seriously, am I the only one who remembers how completely idiotic "Kudlow and Kramer" was back then? Or how Stewart completely shredded him because it never occurred to Kramer his past interviews could be used against him? How does this twit get any attention? He's not even funny enough to be comic relief for stoned people.

riverwalk barfly:Well, he is obviously full of shiat. But the idea of TX going blue makes me smile. Then reality....*sigh* - I do recall in early 2008 a caller on NPR saying that if Obama got the nomination, North Carolina would vote blue. The panel (Diane Rehm show) laughed it off as impossible. You never know.

North Carolina is substantially more likely to go blue than Texas. Texas' demographics may lead to it going blue eventually, but not in 2012. This is a state that elects Rick Perry.
